The pizza chain have added a vegan cheese option, making dairy-hater's Christmas a little jollier.

After testing out adding the dairy-alternative into just some eateries around the country, the Hut decided to make it available to everyone after their vegan pizzas were such a huge hit.

Gareth Hopley, Head of Communications at Pizza Hut Restaurants, commented: "Yes, the reports are true.

"After an amazing customer response to our vegan cheese trial earlier this year, we’re pleased to announce that the dairy-free alternative will now be served in all of our restaurants nationwide and feature as a permanent fixture on our menus.

"We’re excited that all of our cheese-loving vegan customers will be able to grab a slice of the action and no longer have to miss out – we can’t wait to hear their thoughts!"

The fast food chain have opted for dairy-free cheese alternative, Violife, and ordering the vegan delight will add just £1 to customer's bill.

And the news has gone down well in the Twittersphere. One person tweeted: "I had #Vegan cheese in @pizzahut the other day - it was actually delicious!”

Of course they're not the only pizza place to catch onto the dairy-free hype. Zizzi's recently extended their vegan menu, while Pizza Express have added a vegan cheese option to one of their popular vegetarian dishes, after already offering a cheese-free pizza.
